They went through three kickers in 2007 without falling in love with any of them.

Maybe it's not surprising then, to see the Chiefs looking at three more lightly known candidates for their kicker's job in 2008.

After a year in which Kansas City cut '07 fifth-round draft pick Justin Medlock after one game, then tried to get by with Dave Rayner and aging John Carney, the Chiefs will take a look at two other NFL castoffs and an undrafted rookie in 2008.

Mike Ditka gained some important support in his bid to help players who are now ailing in retirement.
